I guess this is one of the 'foreign leaders' John Kerry claimed he had met:

MARCH 12, 2004 : (BOSTON, MASS : US SENATOR JOHN KERRY MEETS WITH IRA TERRORIST MARTIN MCGUINNESS) [Photo Caption] John Kerry and Martin McGuinness, the IRA's and Sinn Fein's chief in Boston on March 12, 2004. McGuinness was second-in-command in the IRA in Londonderry at the time of Bloody Sunday on 30 January 1972.
He served two prison terms in the Irish Republic, and was denounced by Mr Merlyn Rees - a former Home Secretary - as a terrorist.
'The Observer': He was "widely held to have headed the IRA Londonderry Brigade." ---------AP, 3/13/04, via (Observer 17.4.83).

Himself and Ted Kennedy are great buddies!!

He was "widely held to have headed the IRA Londonderry Brigade."

He's now a member of the seven man army council - along with Gerry Adams.
